  Sparky1: I didn’t say it was offensive, I said it was reprehensible and petty.

  see, I am very precise in my words. (Thanks, Jordan Peterson!)

  Just because their name means Watchtower doesn’t mean there’s a connection...unless you think Bob Dylan has a connection to the organization too.

  The perfect tool for Glock magazines

  by Wonderment in

  2. experiences

  those of you who own glock pistols know that it takes a bit of know-how or work to open a glock magazine for cleaning, or for adding a magazine extension to increase round capacity.

  the reason why glock chose this method of retaining is to prevent accidental release of the magazine springs and cartridges in case they are dropped.

  the military and law enforcement agencies appreciate this system more than the average joe.

  The only reason I hesitate on this is because any lawsuit in the US on the blood doctrine as a religious teaching is likely to fail. And what happens when the society wins in court? They plaster it all over their website as confirmation that Jehovah is blessing them.

  The fat shaming on this thread is reprehensible and petty.

  We don’t know this guy’s individual situation.

  would you be concerned if it was?

  why would you be concerned?.

  No, culture is. Black culture is rotten. They need to stand up and fix it.

  I find this comment unhelpful and unnecessarily inflammatory.

  It’s not black culture that’s rotten. It’s inner-city culture.
  

  Black, White, Hispanic...either of those raised in poverty in the inner city have a much higher likelihood of ending up in a life of crime and never ending poverty.
  

  I just recently moved my family from a small town of about 40,000 to the second largest metropolitan area in Florida.

  The schools here are overwhelmed. The school board is inaccessible to parents, teachers are underpaid and schools are understaffed. School administrators are obsessed with politics and the latest cause du jour.

  My kids aren’t dummies. They’re sharp little “turdles,” as my wife and I lovingly call them. But in the town we came from, they were average, at best. In this city, they’re top of their class, straight A students without even breaking a sweat.

  I can’t quite put my finger on the issue exactly or what can be done about it, but there’s something about living in the inner city and having limited resources because of how many people are living on top of each other that makes the education system suffer.

  does everything happen for a reason?

  i hear this from so many people without any explanation as how this is so.

  what do you think about this belief?

  What do you mean by “happen for a reason”? Do you mean they happen to affect something in the future? That I don’t believe.

  But earthquakes do happen for a reason. That reason being that tectonic plates in the earth crash with each other.

  Holocausts happen for a reason. That reason being that man frequently underestimates the capacity of their fellow man for committing evil acts.

  But they didn’t happen because of fate.

  However, for everything that happens to mankind, you can point to a root reason that caused it to happen.

  Well, there are consequences to every action.

  So yes, everything happens for a reason. Doesn’t mean it’s always your fault. But it does happen for a reason. There are rational ways to explain everything that happens, even if that explanation is that someone was being irrational.

  When ANYTHING happens, ask yourself, “Why did this happen?” You’ll always have an answer of some kind to that question. That answer is called a “reason” something happened.

  Can you name one thing that didn’t have a “reason” for occurring?
